Check pool status and restart BOSminer with Toolbox

2 minute read Published: 2021-08-20

The pool URLs in the Braiins OS+ and mostly all firmwares are failover for each other and if the first pool deads, the second one will work.

In some cases the farm has one URL and you need to check the machines for their Status and reload them.

Run the command to download the latest BOS+ Toolbox:

cd / && wget http://feeds.braiins-os.com/toolbox/latest/bos-toolbox && chmod+x ./bos-toolbox

Save the code below in a file "checkpool.sh" and save it in the beside of Toolbox.

#!/bin/bash

DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )
PASSWORD=root

if [[ $1 == "check" ]] || [[ $1 == "check_reload" ]]
then
  for i in {2..255}
  do
    ip="192.168.1.$i"
    fping -c1 -t100 $ip 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null
    if [ "$?" = 0 ]
    then
      if ! echo '{"command":"version"}' | nc $ip 4028 |jq ."VERSION"[]."BOSminer"  | grep -q bosminer
      then
        echo "$ip no bosminer found"
      else
        pool_status=$(echo '{"command":"pools"}' | nc $ip 4028 | jq ."POOLS"[]."Status")
        if [[ $pool_status == 'Dead' ]]
        then
          echo "$ip : pool is $pool_status, Restart miner"
          if [[ $1 == "check_reload" ]]
          then
            "$DIR"/bos-toolbox command $ip -p $PASSWORD "/etc/bosminer.toml && /etc/init.d/bosminer restart"
          fi
        else
          echo "$ip : pool status is $pool_status"
        fi
      fi
    else
      echo "$ip OFFLINE"
    fi
  done
else
  echo "Ivalid Input, Use: check or check_reload"
fi

Give it the excutive permission:

chmod+x ./checkpool.sh

To set the cronjob on the linux machine open the terminal and type:

vi /etc/crontab

Copy nd paste the code below:

*/30 * * * * /checkpool
